Time in a Bottle

Time in a Bottle

If I could save time in a bottle

The first thing that I'd like to do

Is to save every day

Til' eternity passes away

Just to spend them with you

If I could make days last forever

If words could make wishes come true

I'd save every day like a treasure and then

Again, I would spend them with you

But there never seems to be enough time

To do the things you want to do

Once you find them

I've looked around enough to know

That you're the one I want to go

Through time with

If I had a box just for wishes

And dreams that had never come true

The box would be empty

Except for the memory

Of how they were answered by you

Jim Croce, 'Time in a Bottle'

Ah yes, nothing like 70's music. I found one of Rich's CDs where he had a mix of Jim Croce, Robin Trower and Frank Zappa. He was such a 70's boy...so funny. It was hard getting through 'Bridge of Sighs' and Zappa is funny, although a bit much for my taste - but I ended up crying when I heard Croce's song - hadn't heard it in years and it just got to me.

I just really wish that I'd spent more time with Rich.

Well it's thundering and lightening outside right now, 1am-ish in the morning. Love to listen to the sounds of a storm...just very relaxing and soothing to me. An angry sky is appealing to me for some odd reason...

Had a decent day...very mellow. Went to look (again) for furniture...it's like deja vu...believe I did this on the last vacation I had...the one where the stupid store went out of business. Well the good news is that I found a place here in Weston, so will go back tomorrow with a deposit and my floor plans so I can make sure everything fits in my little shoebox house.

Also went to a Pilates place...they offer classes two nights a week so I'm going to sign up. It's a little pricey but what the hell - at least they only allow 12 students at a time, which I like. I hate a crowded class of any type. Also stumbled upon a personal fitness place right next door to the pilates place, but they were closed. Will check them out tomorrow as well. I've gained almost 30lbs since Rich died and I'm feeling like crap. I suddenly have the desire to get healthy - maybe it's my body giving me a warning to cut the crap and get back in shape, start eating and living healthy. I don't care about the weight so much - I'm more concerned about my strength and health...although I wouldn't mind getting back to the 'other' side of my closet once again. Would like to be back in fighting form for the new year...so maybe a little help from a trainer wouldn't be a bad idea.

Here's a little Van Gogh to close for the night...
